Full textAbstract:
This paper reports on the Grounded Delphi method (GDM), a relatively new methodological extension of the Delphi method, achieved by incorporating aspects of Grounded Theory, as used in a recent doctoral dissertation. The research explored the skills, knowledge, qualities and professional education needs of information professionals in galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAM) in Australia, with a view to determining relevant educational requirements to enable information professionals to operate across these blurred cultural heritage boundaries. Implications of using GDM for LIS research, and for research methods in general, is that it improves the rigour of theory building in Delphi studies, while the consensus, or force ranking, aspect of Delphi assists in improving the relevant level of importance of categories derived from Grounded Theory.

International scientific and practical conference “Rumyantsev readings — 2019” was held on April 23—24 in the Russian State Library. The conference covered a wide range of issues: “Libraries and museums in the context of history”; “History of the Russian State Library”; “Disclosure of universal and specialized collections of libraries: forms and methods”; “Future of libraries: evaluations, studies, forecasts”; “Libraries as centres of information-bibliographic activities”; “Library collections and library-information services in the age of electronic communications”; “Professional development of library staff: demands of time. Library as educational centre”; “International cooperation of libraries. Library as a platform for intercultural dialogue”. The conference was attended by specialists from libraries, museums, archives, universities and research institutes, representatives of professional associations and organizations from various regions of Russia and from Australia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Latvia, the United States of America, Tajikistan and Ukraine. Among the sections and round tables of “Rumyantsev readings” were both traditional, held within the framework of the conference on annual basis, and timed to the memorable dates and visits of foreign colleagues of the year. In 2019, the following sections were held: “Art editions in the collections of libraries: issues of study, preservation and promotion”, “Library classification systems”, “Rare and valuable books, book monuments and collections”, “Manuscript sources in the collections of libraries”, “Specialized collections in libraries”, “Collectors, researchers, keepers. Libraries in the context of history”, “Continuing education as a competence resource of library staff”, “Theory and practice of librarianship development at the present stage”, “Library digitalization: trends, problems, prospects”, “Effective library management: problems and solutions. (Pre-session meeting of the 32nd Section of the Russian Library Association on library management and marketing)”. Seminar from the series “Role of science in the development of libraries (theoretical and practical aspects)” “N.M. Sikorsky: scientist, organizer of book science and librarianship. To the 100th birth anniversary” took place. There were organized Round tables: “The new National standard for bibliographic description GOST R 7.0.100—2018 in the modern information environment”, “Library terminology in the context of digital space”, “Cooperation of libraries of the CIS countries: strategic directions”, “Flagship projects that shape the future of libraries”. The growing number of participants, the breadth of topics, the steady interest of specialists in traditional sections and the annual organization of new events in the form and content of the “Rumyantsev readings” allow the conference to stay among the largest scientific and practical events of library research in the country. The search for new topics and the introduction of topical issues on the agenda contribute to both activation of historical research and the search for ways of innovative development and intercultural interaction.

AbstractThe relics of polar exploration are treasured in the museums of a multitude of nations. In Australia, the focus of most such collections is Sir Douglas Mawson and his expeditions to Antarctica in 1911–14 and 1929–31. The nature of these collections divides into the two large categories of scientific specimens and expedition relics. The latter are spread among Australian and other museums in a distribution that speaks of fascination with the exotic and heroic aspects of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition and the geopolitical ramifications of the British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition. The specimens, by contrast, have not been treated well, and although thoroughly documented, may be close to losing their integrity as scientific resources. Both types of material merit the renewed attention of their museum-keepers as resources on the history of Antarctica.

This paper gives the analysis of educational programs and resources for teachers in art museums and galleries in the world and in Serbia. Nowadays, in attempt to follow contemporary tendencies in art education, a significant attention is payed to development of educational programs in art museums and galleries. There is also a strong pursuit to build connections between these cultural institutions and teachers. The goal of this paper is to present selected examples of practices in museums and galleries, programs and resources for teachers, based on preschool and primary school approaches and strategies of teaching using works of art. Research on different aspects of collaboration between kindergartens and schools with institutions of culture is also presented in this paper. Research results indicate that there is no satisfactory collaboration among these institutions in our environment. Schools and kindergartens should support teachers by providing developmentally encouraging environment for maintaining collaboration, so children should get a chance to study works of art more frequently.

As institutions that arose during the European age of imperial expansion to glorify and display the achievements of empire, museums have historically been deeply implicated in the colonial enterprise. However if we understand coloniality not as a residue of the age of imperialism, but rather an ongoing structural feature of global dynamics, the challenge faced by museums in decolonising their practice must be viewed as ongoing. This is the case not just in former centres of empire, but in settler-colonial nations such as Australia, where “the colonisers did not go home” (Moreton-Robinson 2015: 10). As a white, Western institution, a number of arguably intrinsic features of the museum represent a significant challenge to decolonisation, including the traditional museum practices and values evinced by the universal museum. Using a number of case studies, this paper considers the extent to which mainstream museums in Australia, Britain and Europe have been able to change their practices to become more consultative and inclusive of Black and Indigenous peoples. Not only this, it discusses approaches that extend beyond a politics of inclusion to ask whether museums have been prepared to hand over representational power, by giving control of exhibitions to Black and Indigenous communities. Given the challenges posed by traditional museum values and practices, such as the strong preference of the universal museum to maintain intact collections, this paper asks whether community museums and cultural centres located within Indigenous communities may represent viable alternative models. The role of the Uluru Kata Tjuta Cultural Centre in Australia’s Northern Territory is considered in this light, including whether Traditional Custodians are able to exert control over visitor interpretation offered by this jointly managed centre to ensure that contentious aspects of Australian history are included within the interpretation.

One of the important tasks of regional historical and ethnological research is to determine the ethnographic potential of regional and municipal museums. It matters pragmatically —for the development of the tourism industry, and in relation to the generalcultural, educational, scientific development. The purpose of the article is to review the main aspects of understanding problems related to ethnographic museums in domestic science. The problems of museums are studied in institutional and socio-cultural perspectives, including in the context of the processes of socio-cultural identification and commemoration. The main place is given to the thoughts of researchers about the “crisis of museums” and their development trends. The problems of Russian ethnographic museums are defined at the conceptual, institutional, socio-economic, socio-cultural levels.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents some aspects of COVID-19 impact on cultural tourism and on the museum sector. Museums are closely linked to cultural and heritage tourism, considered a significant attraction.The tourism sector is among the most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and cultural tourism is not an exception. In 2020 around 95% museums around the world were closed – according to government sanitary regulations. The aim of the research was to identify the impact of COVID-19 disease on cultural tourism (measured by a number of visitors in the most popular museums in 2019 and 2020) and museums’ adaptation to the sanitary restrictions during the pandemic time. For a few decades museums have tried to enhance their digital activities such as online educational programmes, online collection display, online exhibitions, live events, learning programs, brochures, podcasts, social media and virtual tours. These activities and various projects became especially important during the lockdown caused by the pandemic outbreak, as many museums continued their missions during the pandemic. Some museums have reopened (with strict limitations defined by sanitary restrictions), but many institutions remain closed. It shows how crucial IT innovations are. The paper concludes with some reflections on museums’ offer during the pandemic time and cultural tourism prospects in the post-pandemic time.

Full textAbstract:
19th century dime museums were a North American phenomenon that flourished in urban
centres from the mid- to late-1800s. Named thusly due to their low admission cost, dime
museums provided democratic entertainment that was promoted to all classes as
affordable and respectable. The resulting facilities were crammed with art, artifacts,
rarities, living human curiosities, theatre performances, menageries, and technological
marvels. The exhibition Dr. Soanes’ Odditorium of Wonders strives to recapture the spirit
and aesthetic of the dime museum to invoke wonder in the viewer and to combine art,
artifacts, and oddities to provoke questions about the boundary between education and
amusement. Both the academic and curatorial texts utilize a mix of methodological
approaches appropriate to museology, art history and cultural history: theoretical research
into historiographical issues concerning theories of display and spectacle; archival
research and discourse analysis of historical documents, and material culture analysis
(including the semiotics of display).iv, 60 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm

Full textAbstract:
This doctoral investigation examines educational relationships between museums and schools, and more specifically between art museums and secondary art education. The author's analysis of literature pertaining to museum/school relationships and previous research conducted within Honours research establishes systematic contradictions as permeating the public role of museums and educational engagements with museums. In seeking explanation, a theoretical framework, derived from the social theories of Pierre Bourdieu is developed. The framework is used to interrogate the practices of school-based art education and art museums, and the agents involved, to examine how social relations operate to enable and constrain the representation and engagement of secondary school-based perspectives in the museum setting. Aspects that have previously remained unacknowledged are examined to reveal the interplay of factors that influence educational experiences in the art museum setting. Using the findings from the first stage of the analysis, in concert with the Bourdieuan framework, the author develops a model for learning in art museums that explores and articulates a new pedagogical terrain in the art educational use of art museums. A socio-cognitive framework is developed to reflect the strategic incorporation of museological knowledge, contemporary art education philosophies and practices and sociological theory. The aims of the model are to engage secondary art education and art museums using a sociological perspective, provide the tools for secondary art educators to be autonomous in the art museum setting, recognize that individuals relate to cultural materials and experiences in varying and multiple ways and develop educational encounters that predispose learners to engage in the cultural practice of art museum visiting. In intrinsically valuing art museum experiences as distinctive learning opportunities, the model provides teaching and learning strategies that allow for a multi-faceted, developmentally appropriate and cognitively based educational involvement. As the ultimate outcome of the research the model has significance for secondary art students, secondary art educators, teacher educators and art museum educators. It is unique in providing a secondary school-based art educational perspective on learning in art museums that is designed to establish a foundation for cultural practice, within and beyond the school years.

This study examined two art museum and school partnerships in order to learn how partnerships enable an integration of goals, participants' beliefs and values, and learning objectives. This study examined the partnerships through a social constructivist lens and used narrative analysis as way to interpret participants' stories about collaboration. The research found three major themes among participants' stories. Participants: a) valued good communication to establish relationships between partners, b) believed partnership offered students experiences that educated the whole person, and c) felt that students making meaning by interacting in the museum environment was an indicator of success. The study closes with discussion of the researchers' own constructions as they developed throughout the study.

Currently South African museums are faced with the challenge of evaluating and transforming their roles and functions as a response to changing national educational needs. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether aspects of the integrated strategies approach to promoting scientific literacy can be successfully employed in a museum context. The approach was used as part of the education programmes at the Port Elizabeth Museum School (Bayworld) and mixed methods were used to gather qualitative and quantitative data on the teachers’ ability to adopt the strategy. Data were also generated on the teachers’ perceptions of teaching and learning, possible activities which supported the approach, and aspects of the strategy which the learners adopted most readily. The findings suggest that active engagement in the process resulted in effective adoption of the strategy by the teachers, improved attitudes towards science learning by both the teachers and children who participated in the process, and improved scientific literacy in both.

Full textAbstract:
One of the characteristics of adult education is the degree to which it is dispersed throughout society. Much adult education is practiced in organizations and institutions that have purposes other than adult education. Schroeder (1970, p. 37) has suggested a category of adult education agencies (Type III agencies) established to serve both the educational and non-educational needs of the community, agencies in which "adult education is an allied function employed to fill only some of the needs which agencies recognize as their responsibility." The purpose of this study was to examine adult education in Schroeder's Type III agencies using libraries and museums as examples. The study addressed the definition and description of adult education, the importance of adult education relative to other functions of the organization, and the purposes for which the organizations used adult education.
A comparative analysis of the adult education function of three libraries and three museums was conducted. Print materials (annual reports and publicity brochures) and interviews with the person responsible for programming were used as data sources. Analysis of the findings was done in three stages: single case analysis (within case analysis), analysis of libraries and museums (within category analysis), and comparison of libraries and museums (across category analysis).
Many definitions of adult education were found. Most described the purposes of adult education rather than the process of teaching and learning. It was also found that the importance of adult education varied among the organizations studied. Adult education was less important than other organizational functions in four of the six organizations studied. It was as important as other functions in one organization and was not ranked in one organization. Five uses for adult education were found: stimulation (encouraging better use of the library or museum), enrichment (adding extra information), extension (enlarging community contacts), service (filling a social need), and advocacy (promoting social change). Generally, libraries used programming for extension and museums used it for enrichment.
This study has contributed to understanding adult education in Type III organizations by describing some ways non-professional adult educators view adult education. It has also suggested some contextual factors that influence the adult education function in those organizations and has suggested a variety of purposes for which adult education could be used.Education, Faculty of

Resumo: Esta tese tem por objetivo explicitar as abordagens pedagógicas e o papel do setor educativo nos museus, a partir da análise de literatura que trata de educação em museus, incluindo teses e dissertações defendidas entre 1987 e 2006 no Rio de Janeiro e em São Paulo. Parte do pressuposto de que a prática educativa é uma prática intencionalizada e, como tal, atende a interesses e cumpre objetivos específicos voltados para determinados públicos - de acordo com o contexto e momento histórico em questão. Inicialmente busca situar o setor educativo em diferentes momentos da história dos museus, onde aparece como um setor específico criado para atender o público escolar sobremaneira. As funções que lhe foram atribuídas se traduzem em ações e atividades que acabam se tornando a "marca registrada" da atuação do setor educativo em diferentes tipos de museus, que é referenciada em princípios político-pedagógicos que tendem a corresponder àqueles que informam o sistema de ensino e a ideologia dominante nos diferentes momentos históricos - na maioria das vezes não explicitados. Apresenta um panorama geral das teses e dissertações selecionadas com informações sobre as instituições em que foram defendidas, bem como a formação dos autores, os temas abordados, os objetivos propostos, a metodologia de pesquisa e os referenciais teóricos que orientam os estudos. Examina alguns desses trabalhos que, entre outros aspectos, referem-se à questão pedagógica e ao papel do setor educativo, com o intuito de explicitar as abordagens pedagógicas e identificar contribuições e lacunas. Deste modo, foi possível rever a experiência de coordenar o processo de estruturação do setor educativo do Museu da Vida, e formular novas questões e reflexões, sinalizando possibilidades e limites desse setor para desenvolver, no museu de ciências, uma prática educativa transformadora.
Abstract: This thesis aims to bring up pedagogic approaches as well as the role of educative division in museums, coming from the analysis of the literature around education in museums, including thesis and dissertations presented between 1987 and 2006 in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. It comes from the presuppose that educative practice is intentionalized, and, thus, lives up to interests and also intends for specific aims which are focused on some audiences - according to context and historical moment in question. Initially, it aims to situate the educative area in different moments of museums history, where appears as a specific place created to supply the scholar people overall. Functions them attributed stand for actions and activities which becomes the hallmark of educative area in different kinds of museums, referenced on political-pedagogic principles, tending to correspond to whose that inform system of learning and main ideology throughout various historical moments - most of times non-explicit ones. It features a general overview on thesis and dissertations selected with information about institutions where them were presented, as well as authors' formation, selected themes, proposed objectives, research methodology and theory references that guide studies. Some of those works which, among others, refers to pedagogical issue are looked over in order to makes visible pedagogical approaches, as well as identify gaps and contributions. This way, it was possible to coordinate process of educative building of Museu da Vida and thus formulate new questions and thinking, in order to develop a transforming educative practice in science museum.

Full textAbstract:
The quality and nature of leadership among the superiors of
religious teaching orders has not been the subject of much research.
This field study examines the criteria by which the Provincial Superior of the Marist Brothers in the Sydney Province of Australia decides
on the appointment of his principals. In order to establish an evaluation
of these criteria, the concept of leadership in general and educational
leadership are first examined as described in literature. From the
literature a model is chosen against which the leadership of the founder
is examined since the spirit of the founder, in this case, Marcellin Champagnat, still pervades the present day members of the order he
established. The beginnings of the work of the Brothers in Australia
were also important as the pioneers brought with them the spirit of
the founder and were responsible for a quality of leadership in difficult
circumstances, a quality which has become a feature of the work of
the Brothers. It is evident that the present provincial superior
is imbued with the spirit of the founder and that he has succeeded
in interpreting the criteria laid down in foundation in terms which
are relevant to education today. Certain constraints and factors, special
to a religious teaching order bring about features of leadership which
are not found in lay schools.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractClassrooms are busy institutional settings in which conversational agendas are typically ordered by teachers due to the focus on curriculum content. Opportunities for extended storytelling, outside of focussed literacy times, may occur infrequently. This chapter investigates how children engage with each other and with curriculum concepts referred to as “culture”, through telling stories. The data are video recordings of young children (aged 4–5 years) telling stories during their everyday classroom activities. The data are drawn from a study on what intercultural competence “looks like” in the everyday interactions of preschool classrooms in inner-city Queensland, Australia. An ethnomethodological approach using conversation analysis highlights three fragments where children tell something about themselves. As they tell stories about aspects of their lives outside the classroom, children make their “culture” visible to other children and co-construct a local peer culture. The implications of the study’s findings point to how classrooms can be conversational spaces where children practise and build culture in action. The children share aspects of their everyday lives that are sometimes tangentially aligned with curriculum, but always available as a resource for making cultural connections. The children themselves do not name these activities as culture, but their association to what is known about how culture is defined, shows that they are orienting to these aspects.

The desire to provide personalized learning support for students has been a strong driver of the development of learning analytics capabilities at the University of Wollongong (UOW), Australia. A case study approach is taken to explore the diverse challenges faced when adopting an institution wide approach to learning analytics. Aspects explored include: establishing a clear strategy and governance, implementing foundation technology, developing and applying analytics and visualizations, managing organizational culture change, understanding student expectations, and addressing ethical challenges associated with learning analytics. This chapter draws upon the results of a UOW student survey conducted in late 2013 that explored first year student expectations regarding privacy in relation to learning analytics, and their preferred approach to interventions. Throughout it is noted that the academic endeavor, rather than technology and data management, drives the UOW adoption of learning analytics.

The news has not been good for mental health training programs for police in Australia, Canada, the U.S., and the UK. Police training is seen as inadequate to prepare police officers to identify and deal with persons with a mental illness. This chapter describes one approach of writing a proposal to conduct a comparison of attitude-training programs with police cadets. The main aspects of writing a proposal are covered: the background, problem statement, hypothesis, and the design of the treatments for comparison. Isolating the main features of each treatment requires designing some instruction based on factors that can influence police attitude toward suspects with a mental illness. Contemporary design guidelines are recommended, which should be informed by the designer's personal assumptions about how people learn from multimedia.

Home education is on the rise in Australia. However, unlike parents who choose mainstream schooling, these parents often lack the support of a wider community to help them on their educational and parenting journey. This support is especially lacking as many people in the wider community find the choice to home education confronting. As such, these parents may feel isolated and alienated in the general population as their choice to home educate is questioned at best, and ridiculed at worst. These parents often find sanctuary online in homeschool groups on Facebook. This chapter explores the ways that Facebook Groups are used by marginalized and disenfranchised families who home educate to meet with others who are likeminded and aligned with their beliefs and philosophies. It is through these groups that parents, in relation to schooling it is especially mothers, are able to ask for advice, to vent, to explore options and find connections that may be lacking in the wider community.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last decade, our society has embraced social networking and web-based and mobile technologies. In an attempt to stay current with social trends, educators have become increasingly interested in how best to harness social media tools to enhance their teaching practices. This paper will explore the use of social media tools, such as Edmodo and Glogster, with 30 Japanese high school exchange students in Sydney, Australia. Given that the classes were homogenous, the teachers' biggest challenge was to create a classroom environment that encouraged students to use English rather than Japanese to communicate with one another. By using social media tools, students were given the opportunity to embrace and explore different technologies while creating a space to communicate with their peers and teachers in English. This article will discuss the types of activities and tasks employed and student and teacher feedback. New technologies continue to emerge and evolve, shaping how our society communicates, works and learns. Educators, in particular, have attempted to harness various aspects of technology to enhance teaching and learning. Given that social networking and web-based and mobile technologies have become an integral part of young people's everyday lives, educators have become increasingly aware of the need to incorporate these social media tools in the learning process. The impetus for the action research presented in this paper was born from a desire to promote English language communication through introducing social media tools, such as Edmodo and Glogster. The aim was to explore how a variety of tasks and activities are employed and received by both students and teachers.

One of the most challenging problems in the simulation of real environments is to generate worlds that appear realistic and more attractive. It becomes increasingly challenging when the simulated environment focuses on minors (students), because the young generation has high demands on simulation systems due to their experience in computer gaming. Virtual museums are among the most important simulation environments, which present cultural and educational content for everyone. Their purpose is to enrich the users experience by allowing an intuitive interaction with the museum artifacts and to offer knowledge with the most pleasant ways. This paper focuses on the aspects of realistic simulations in the development of virtual 3D environments for Cultural Heritage applications. This study includes aspects regarding some of the most high-tech image effects, applicable artificial intelligence methods, powerful game engines, how real object can be reconstructed realistically and how all those features may be combined to produce realistic, pleasant, productive and educative environments.

Full textAbstract:
For many countries around the world in the period of rapid development of digital technologies, the problems of creating digital resources, expanding the communication space and ensuring free access to digital documentary heritage, providing a regulatory framework for electronic resource management. The cultural heritage of any country is an important component of world cultural attainment. For decades, projects aimed at pre serving and effectively using cultural heritage as a valuable resource for strategic development of states have been developed and implemented. The solution to these problems lies in digitizing monuments, creating digital copies of them, providing online access to digital collections, long-term maintenance and management of digital resources. In this context, foreign experience in implementing digital initiatives is important. Successful projects to digitize documentary monuments are one of the key imperatives of the cultural policy of many countries around the world. A significant number of artifacts are of honorable age, which makes additional demands on the possibility of their use, including monuments of documentary heritage. The conditions stored in the original documents are in many cases far from ideal. It is unknown how long these priceless monuments may still exist. Paper breaks down, ink disappears and information is lost forever. For these reasons, a significant number of artifacts still remain inaccessible. The implementation of projects for the digitization of cultural heritage is aimed primarily at solving the problems of preservation, accounting, providing access to digital copies of monuments, thus expanding the opportunities for effective use of their strategic potential. The subject of the research is the development and implementation of projects for the digitization of cultural heritage sites abroad. The purpose of the study is to focus attention on the legal and methodological support for the development and implementation of foreign projects on documentary heritage. The aim of the article is to focus on the main stages and features of the development and implementation of foreign projects for the digitization of cultural heritage sites. Objectives of the research: to identify and explore the features of development and implementation of foreign projects to create digital content of documentary heritage; to reveal the main stages of creation of digital resources; highlight the possibilities of providing online access to digital copies (images) of documents; reveal ways to maintain and manage digital resources. The methodological basis of the research is a set of general scientific principles of historical, systematic, objectivity, based on an interdisciplinary approach. The main provisions of this work are based on the convergence of museum, archival, library and information and communication technologies. The use of historical and logical approaches provided an opportunity to consider the process of development and implementation of projects for digitization of documentary heritage abroad, to analyze their transformations and dependence on the development of new information technologies. The method of information modeling provided an opportunity to predict the development of electronic libraries and the corresponding management of digital resources. Among the empirical methods in the study, methods of description and comparison were used to gather information. Information-analytical and source-based methods were also used to analyze the legal framework. From empirical-theoretical methods abstraction, analysis, synthesis, induction, deductions are used – to reveal the stages of development of digitization projects. The purpose of the projects of digitization of cultural heritage is to address current issues in modern documentary communications: expanding access to documentary heritage; virtual reconstruction of scattered funds and collections; providing access to unique materials of archives, museums, libraries; preservation of artifacts, especially those at risk of destruction; support of scientific and educational programs, etc. Problems of preservation and access to digitized cultural heritage on the websites of museums, archives and libraries remain relevant in time, in particular in the context of transparency, accessibility, reactivity, availability of electronic images, feedback from users of the website, the volume of digitized documents, social responsibility and trust in the site. The practice of presenting cultural heritage on the sites of museums, libraries and archives of Ukraine indicates the need to develop a single concept of digitization of cultural heritage and the creation of relevant sites. The research, analysis and use of world experience will contribute not only to the most effective implementation of projects to digitize the cultural heritage of Ukraine, but also to ensure its proper preservation and proper presentation on the Internet for public use.

Maranelli, Francesco. "Engineering Melbourne’s “Great Structural- Functional Idea”: Aspects of the Victorian Post-war “Rapprôchement” between Architecture and Engineering." In The 38th Annual Conference of the Society of Architectural Historians Australia and New Zealand. online: SAHANZ, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.55939/a3998puxe9.
Full textAbstract:
In 1963, Robin Boyd wrote about a post-war “rapprôchement” between the disciplines of structural engineering and architecture. Etymologically, the term suggests the movement of two entities that draw closer to each other, either in an unprecedented fashion or resuming a suspended interaction. World War II and the “anxieties and stimulations” of the post-war period, to use Boyd’s expression, accelerated the process of overcoming longstanding educational and professional disciplinary barriers. They were the driving forces behind what he denominated the “great structural-functional idea” of the 1950s. Architecture schools embraced modernist/functionalist ideals, producing graduates with considerable technical knowledge - true “romantic engineers.” The global post-war fascination with unconventional structures played its part. Occasionally, Antoine Picon argues, architecture’s “symbolic and aesthetic discourses” walk a “strictly technical path.” Under the banner of Le Corbusier’s Esthétique de l’Ingénieur, architecture and engineering converged. New technologies made collaborations with engineers habitual. According to Andrew Saint, however, partnerships were rarely affairs of equals since “architectural jobs came to architects first.” The diversification and growing number of engineers also transformed them into a labour force, Picon suggests, affecting their prestige and, possibly, their historiographical fortune. Scholarship on post-war Melbourne architecture has generally privileged the architect as the protagonist in the creation of innovative structures, only occasionally acknowledging consultants. This does not reflect the concerted nature of design commissions and frequent evanescence of disciplinary boundaries. This paper aims to highlight the major playing grounds for this alignment within design professions. It also hints at the complex relationship between the contributions of Victorian engineers and their recognition by post-war newspapers and architectural journals, opening the analysis of Melbourne’s post-war architecture to the discourse of professional representation and arguing the importance of “unbiased” histories of the built environment.

Full textAbstract:
Architecture culture inevitably revolves around the idea of leisure including its many connotations, such as recreation, reproduction, education, entertainment etc. As a concept, it not only corresponds to many spheres of everyday life, but also designates how time is being or should be spent via functions associated with architecture (such as leisure parks), through challenging architectural imagination (experimentation with pavilions or museums) as well as discourse built around particular examples of architecture. In the post-war world, leisure society was a prominent expression and had direct effects on architectural production through cultural centers, educational facilities and a vast range of public spaces that were meant to serve all individuals of society. On the other hand, leisure, arguably, is now being replaced by other ideas such as well-being or happiness. It is possible to observe a shift from a societal imaginary onto an individual one. This paper takes this shift in ideas around leisure and traces its possible extensions in the architectural culture via two trends in architecture: Megastructuralism and the tiny house movement. While the megastructralists of the 1960s imagined self-sufficient cities and communities, the tiny house movement of the past decade has been looking for self-sufficiency through singular houses/households. Departing from major texts such as Fumihiko Maki’s Collective Form (1964) or Reynar Banham’s Megastructures (1976) to old and new critical articles on the tiny house movement, this paper investigates references to leisure and ideas around it. It explores the tiny house movement and the megastructuralism; mapping their parallels in responding to crises of their era, their ways of experimenting and challenging architecture’s limits and finally aims to address what the two movements may display about one another as an attempt to enhance present architectural theory.

[This paper is published in the Journal of Information Technology Education: Research, Volume 15.] This paper explores and analyses similarities and differences in ICT curricula, policies, and assessment between the Vietnamese and Australian educational systems for the final years of secondary educational level. It was found that while having a common core set of tendencies, the Australian ICT curricula, policies, and assessments differ markedly from the Vietnamese counterparts. These differences can be explained by economic and cultural factors, national-wide educational trends, ICT strategies, and their degrees of implementation in schools. We found that limited constructivist implementations are used in ICT curricula in both countries, as Australian education has high expectations in national evaluations with an emphasis on standardized tests and Vietnamese education is still entrapped in prescriptive lessons of traditional pedagogy, emphasizing transmission model of information. We found that lack of opportunities in teacher professional development in ICT training is common for both countries. While the Australian educational system still struggles, especially in providing opportunities for learning theoretical and programming aspects, multiple challenging aspects were found in the ICT content and policies of the Vietnamese educational system that call for immediate change and improvement. In this sense, Vietnamese administrators are recommended to extensively follow up their educational strategies and policies, in order to make sure that their reforms are adequately implemented in schools. In order to bridge the gap and implement adequate ICT curricula, rigorous professional training in ICT teaching is essential for both Australian and Vietnamese teachers.

Mining activities in the territory of central Slovakia have left many monuments of technical, architectural, and urbanistic character. These are rich in socio-cultural traditions, too. They formed a significant component of cultural heritage. The study aims to monitor the heritage use in selected localities of Banská Bystrica and Špania Dolina in experience-based local tourism. The starting point was both institutionalized activitie (e.g. museums) and the activities of civic associations. We have used the techniques of participatory observation and semi-standardized interviews with local government representatives and administrators of the researched events in repeated ethnological research. The first part of the study mentions theoretical and methodological aspects of mountain sites usage in tourism. The second part presents selected examples of good practice - from expositions and exhibitions realized in interactive form, educational trails, animations to the elaboration of mining issue in festivals and the socio-cultural calendar of the village. Technical monuments enriched with experiences and stories with the possibility of involving tourists in old technological procedures, or in monitoring the underground working environment of miners, etc., together with consistent popularization, give the presumption that interest in this part of cultural heritage will increase.
